Most of the longtubes would be good. Just make sure they are stainless. The Y pipe is needed to connect the headers to your catback, so yes, it is important. Get one with hi flow cats. Get a good tune. You should have about $1500 to spare. Save it for a blower!

I have the borla system, i don't want to change it, i'll stick to it... i'm new to modding cars sorry i don't know what you mean by "blower" ;/ why not CAM/HEADS will it hurt the engine?
